CHANCE:

It seemed to me at the time
          that I had had a thought
That things were gonna get easier
          before they got better

I turned around just in time
          to see it round the bend
Turn left, walk off stage
          I had reached the end

It ends with a chance
The night replaces the day
Darkness fills the air
Then fades away

I walked around
I found a note lying on the ground

I picked it up
          read it twice
And I discarded it

I had to go back
          an hour or two later
Because it seemed (to me)

That it contained a detailed list
          of everything I was to do
For the next several weeks (in order)

It ends with a chance
The night replaces the day
Darkness fills the air
Then fades away

It seemed to me at the time
          that I had had a thought
That things were gonna get so much easier (this time)
I was deluded

It ends with a chance
